Fiction, Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945), Crime & mystery
Spenser lives on - and the hard-hitting, wise-mouthed PI has a brand new voice, in a case less clear-cut and far more dangerous than it appears...
'I spotted the girl even before she knocked on my door.'
Mattie Sullivan is not Spenser's typical client. For a start, she's just fourteen. Nor is her request a typical one - to take a case that's already been solved.
But this kid is wiser than her years. And this case is less clear-cut, and far more dangerous, than it appears.
